I ordered the V 2.7's as they were only about $100 US. Even if I do have to repaint the midsole, still gotta be better than HC. Look at that clear sole! (If I'm repainting the sole I might as well put an outrigger piece of clear plastic in there too)
Maybe next pay, the V2.8's.
For a $100 thats not bad.
These other ones with the improved top half have got the white strap holder glued on too low. If they were higher up they would look much better and how we should have received v2 back at the start.
I think ive managed to list all the versions of v2 shoes below which i will put in the history diagram of these shoes and their evolution. I think this is the list.
V2 : the standard shoe from 2012
V2.1: identical to v2 except fabric is now like v3 and toebox seems to be smaller.
V2.7: remote control lights. Wavy lines on soles instead of splatter. Has el light strap.
Usb port in the end of the white strap and on off button in puffy collars
V2.8: remote control lights. A new upper half and entire shoe seems to use v3 or similar fabric. Has el strap. Soles seem to be a very light grey and have more rounded splatter paint. Usb port in the end of the white strap and on off button in puffy collars.
Halloween costume shoes: seem to have gone through 2 or 3 iterations. Different splatter on later versions and the lace ribs removed. Stitched differently than v2 but essentially same shoe but shorter.
Sports version: bottom half of uppers identical to standard v2. Top half in glossy vinyl type material. Soles painted similar to halloween costume style rather than standard v2 style. Even shorter than halloween uppers.
Sports version with q & g logo on strap holder and strap!: believe it or not i found another. This one now uses the bottom half upper frpm halloween style and the same vinyl upper. Q & G is embossed on strap holder which seems to be upside down for some unknown reason. A small metallic type rectangle plate thing is stuck on the strap front.
Essentially its same as sport version with some crappy unknown lettering added.
